Abstract

The development and maintenance of cross-platform mobile applications is expensive. One approach for reducing this cost is model-driven development. AXIOM is a model-driven approach for developing crossplatform mobile applications that uses a domain specific language (DSL) to define platform-independent models for mobile applications. AXIOM uses a consistent model representation, called an Abstract Model Tree, as the basis for all model transformations and code generation. AXIOM could significantly reduce development time and cost while increasing the quality of mobile applications. In this paper we examine the AXIOM models, their underlying abstract model trees, and the structures of its different transformation rules to show how platform-specific concerns can be introduced in ways that preserve the model’s platform-independence while still providing fine-grained control over the results of the transformation process.
